Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a cheque received from debtors can be directly transferred to creditors. Generally, if a cheque is 'Account Payee' or issued in a company's name, it cannot be directly transferred. However, if the cheque is not 'Account Payee' and the company name is not specified, it may be possible to endorse it over to a creditor with the debtor's consent. The best practice is to ask the debtor to issue the cheque directly to the creditor to maintain clear accounting records.

How is it possible...?
Here the cheque write the name A then B can't use the cheque...!

Cheque  Issued  in the name of  company ,Can not  be transferred  directly  to  creditors .   

If not mentioned company's name then
No...
It's not correct / good...
Yes you can through sign on the back side and the name of person to whom you want to transfer
Then How it will be accountable in books...??
If it's account payee and had to be so under 40A(3).

You can ask directly your debtor to issue cheque in your creditor party name. If he agrees then it's ok.

By doing, what purpose you seek to obtain ?
Keep transactions straight and identifiable instead of complicating.

If the Cheque is Account payee then you cannot transfer the cheque directly to your creditor.

Further, if you saying the name of the Company is not mentioned- its an incomplete cheque(only name not mentioned)  then you can name it with your creditor after taking consent of your debtor. 

In the account just make a journal entry and adjust your creditor liab with debtor balance.
